TELEMACHUS

"A wandering crone, lowly form of an immortal serving her conqueror and her gay betrayer, their common cuckquean, a messenger from the secret morning. To serve or to upbraid, whether he could not tell: but scorned to beg her favor.- It is indeed, ma'am, Buck Mulligan said, pouring milk into their cups. - Taste it, sir, she said. He drank at her bidding." (U.1.404)
